Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I can enjoy different kinds of music, Bach, PinkFloyd, U2, also smaller artists (google Over the Rhine). I do not listen too music so much though, because I want to pay it its full attention

Movies: I grew up without movies and pop music, so I don't haven "golden oldies". I appreciate such movies like Shawshank Redemption, Into the Wild, 12 Angry men and other IMDB classics, Mission Impossibles, series.

Books: I read a lot and I read everything, so let me think!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wild "camping" - sleeping under coconut leaves in South Sudan at the river Nile, 50 meter from where crocodiles swim!

What I want to do: Paraglading, living in nature for some time, winter and mountain sports

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach English, some basic guitar chords

Learn: I like learning, what can you teach me? Piano?

Share: I can cook a vegetarian version of a Dutch meal - stamppot - for you; I love doing sports together: football, tennis, canoeing, snowboarding, running, hiking, badminton, volleybal, biking. I am in! I love being outside, spotting birds with my binocles.
